Abstract

We describe Infopipes, a distributed computational and communications abstraction for information flow applications and I/O intensive distributed real-time embedded (DRE) systems. Infopipes are specified by the syntax, semantics, and quality of service requirements for information flows. Software tools generate executable code from the specification. We explain a DRE scenario and then provide a microbenchmark comparison of generated Infopipe code to standard, handwritten TCP code. Measurements show that Infopipe-generated code has the same execution overhead as the manually written original version.
